Ducks, Sharks prospects to face off

Some four-plus months after the Ducks upset the Presidents' Trophy-winning San Jose Sharks in the opening round of last season's Stanley Cup playoffs, the teams will come together again -- or at least their prospects will.

The Ducks and Sharks will meet in three "rookie" scrimmage games, Sept. 7, 8 and 9 at Sharks Ice in San Jose. Each game is set for a 7 p.m. faceoff.

Seating for each game is limited to the first 850 fans. Admission is $10 per person, $5 for fans 12 and younger. Tickets will go on sale each game day beginning at 5 p.m., with proceeds benefiting the Junior Sharks scholarship fund.

Ducks prospects are expected to skate one or two days at Anaheim Ice before departing for San Jose.

The Ducks are scheduled to open training camp Sept. 13, with their first exhibition game set for Sept. 16 against the Phoenix Coyotes at Honda Center.
